Previous Chapters: , , , , , , and . *** Chapter 9: *** Kaylee ran all the way to the engine room. There was something in the feel of it, the way recycled air filled her lungs and how her feet knew the way automatically, that made her blood run faster. "Jayne?" She heard Mal sigh as she got close. "Can you just grab the... twisty... thing?" "The what? Gorram it, Mal, why ain't Kaylee in here?" "'Cause she ain't." It made her grit her teeth. "And she ain't gonna..." "I'm here." She said as she got through the door. "Cap'n, I ain't happy with you right now, so's you best stand right back and leave my engine to me." It must have been in her eyes, because Kaylee had no idea why else he would step back and take orders on his ship. He didn't even try to claim ownership from her. "Wash?" She asked the com unit. "I'm here, what do you need?" "Kaylee?" It crackled back. "Thank god. Was wondering if you got anything to add to the burn, make her run faster?" "Not gonna happen, hydraulics ain't up to it." Her eyes ran over the machine. "But I could ease out the jet controls, make her tail
Hurry up with the next one Jacqui, I just can't wait!
"James wouldn't leave Kaylee and Kaylee wouldn't leave Jayne" gave me shivers.
It's evident that she has always been in love with Jayne.
Was too weak, too scared to admit that to herself.
It's relieving to know that now Jayne's never going to let her leave again, that he's going to be there to protect her and to protect his son.
And I'm sure that little James will grow fond of his daddy and will look out for him for love and protection.
Jayne doesn't have to worry about that.
Little James is so lucky.
Holding my breath until the next chapter...Jacqui your talent never ceases to amaze me!
"Wash?" Kaylee cut right in. "What've you got in front of you right now?"
"My life, flashing by. You?"
And I'm chuckling away to myself, 'Oh Wash - he's so funny', and then Kaylee started talking...
Needless to say, it went downhill from there. It don't want to get into it, but there may have been some crying involved.
*sniffle, watery smile*
Damn, girl. Ain't no one able to stir the emotions quite like you.
I need to restock on tissues before the next part, so there's no rush. Oh, unless Jayne's gonna kill that creepy guy, then you post as quick as possible, dong ma?
<Large, strong hands that could hold her up, that had touched her once, traced patterns on her body, pushed her hard when she’d asked for it, gentled her when he’d thought she was asleep.>
This sums up so beautifully the depth and strength of their relationship. In reading kaylee's struggles to keep Jame's safe, I am reminded of the terrible decisions faced in "Sophie's Choice".
This is an amazing series and I continue to be awed by your talent and honored by your friendship.
I really hope there's a meeting between Kaylee, Jayne, and the scumbag coming up. A rejuvenated Kaylee, with a vengeful Jayne by her side, would be wonderful to see. I just never know what you've got up your sleeve though.
I bow before your talent! Please keep 'em coming!
Okay, calming down, deep breaths.
Well, I have to say it, Kaylee was brilliant! It was just perfect to have her giving that little speech to Mal and Jayne while pushing Serenity to her limit. I believe it might have been a stroke of literary genius.(and the engine stuff sounded really good too!)
I loved the paragraph where she talked about finding out she was pregnant. I think Jayne needed to hear that. And this line of Jayne's: "Uh, yeah." He blinked. "Mal? You're a bad man. And I gotta see my son, too."
After reading this, I have a feeling that strong-Kaylee took care of the creepy-guy all by herself. Can't wait to find out though!
The emotions portrayed in this chapter just prove that Joss, Fox, and Universal need to get you to write stuff for them to keep us Browncoats happy for a while:D
And I kinda have to disagree with squish's comment about Kaylee dealing with the manipulative asshole herself, I think a...conversation...between Jayne and Mr. Creepy could just be the kind of catharsis everyone needs....but that's just me.
BEB
OOOh...teehee at that line. I'm trying to think of something clever to say, but I haven't eaten today and the brain is lagging so I'm just gonna go with Superb job! I, of course rate a 10.
i can't wait for the next chapter!!
i want jayne to beat that guy into a bloody pulp for the stuff he pulled with kaylee and the rest of the people there.
can't wait for the next bit!!!
god i love your brain, wish i had me one!!!
Loved the touch of Wash's humor there, Kaylee's speech was fantastic and her thoughts about Jayne were pretty touching.
I also bow to your talent...you've made me a Jaylee addict and you can't stop now!
heehee, i can see the expression on mal's face now...NOW FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! LET JAYNE HURT THE FLASHBACK MAN!!!! ooh, i'm a violent little bugger sometimes.
